Caveat Emptor — Cable Service
Another great reason to kill your television.
The other day, someone made comment about my life-style choice; regarding no television. Implied it was my own fault I wasn’t getting certain forms of information; specifically being able to record City Council sessions on my VCR via cable channel 17.
I didn’t go into much detail as to WHY I made that choice, about ten years ago. I didn’t think it relevant. Besides I didn’t want to drag out the meeting any longer than it was already going to go.
And the only reason I mention it now is because of THIS article.
A $2000 bill for equipment the cable service user lost during a tornado??!?!?!?
We’re talking about some SERIOUS ‘windfall’ profits here. And the Time-Warner Cable legal department must be expecting some serious bonus packages this year if it flies.
Who know that that stupid box was worth that much.
So…if some wind storm or fire or flooding or burglars damage, destroy or steal your cable box, be prepared…...
Personally? I still suggest killing your television.
